Cookies

The Archive websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser and serve to make Archive’s offerings more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted after the visit. Other cookies remain stored on the user’s device until the user deletes them. These cookies allow us to recognize the user’s browser on the next visit.

The users can prevent the setting of cookies through the Archive website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and permanently disagree. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of Archive’s website may be fully usable.

Use of web analytics tools

Archive uses the open source web analytics service Google Analytics to analyze usage data to optimize its online offering. Cookies are used which allow a statistical analysis of the use of this website by its visitors and the display of usage-related content. Any other use, merging with other data or disclosure to third parties will not take place. In this case, an opt-out cookie is deposited in the browser of the person concerned, which prevents Google Analytics from saving usage data. If the cookies are deleted, the Google Analytics opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must be repeated when visiting Archive’s website again.
